Saudi Vision 2030

God has granted us many geographic, civic, social, demographic and economic elements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This has enabled us to occupy a high place among the leading nations in the world. The future vision of any country emanates from its strengths, and that is what we have adopted when building vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the year (1452 H - 2030). Our position in the Muslim world will enable us to build on our leading role as the heart of Arab and Islamic worlds. Our investment power will also be the key and the engine to diversify our economy and achieve sustainability. Our strategic location will enable us to be a hub for connecting three continents.

Our Vision is built around three themes: a vibrant society, a thriving economy and an ambitious nation. These themes are integrated and consistent with each other in order to achieve our objectives and maximize the benefit of the pillars of this vision.

Our vision starts from society and ends there. The first theme represents a basis for achieving this vision and establishing a solid foundation for economic prosperity. This theme emerges from our belief in the importance of building a dynamic community, its individuals living in accordance with the Islamic principles and the methodology of moderation, are proud of their national identity and their ancient cultural heritage, enjoy a good life in a beautiful environment, where the elements of quality of life for citizens and residents are available, are protected by caring families and are supported by an empowering social and health care system.

In the second theme; a thriving economy, we focus on providing opportunities for all by building an education system aligned with market needs and creating economic opportunities for the entrepreneurs, the small enterprises as well as the large corporations. We will therefore, develop our investment tools to unlock our promising economic sectors, diversify our economy and create job opportunities. In our belief of the role of competitiveness in improving the quality of services and economic development, we will focus on privatizing government services, improving the business environment, attracting the finest talent and the best investments globally, and leveraging our unique strategic location in connecting three continents.

Because the effectiveness and responsibility are two essential concepts, we seek to apply these at all levels to be an ambitious home for production and achievements. Therefore, we focus on the third theme of our vision built on an effective, transparent, accountable, enabling and high-performing public sector, where we draw the features of effective government by enhancing the efficiency, transparency and accountability and encourage a culture of performance to enable our resources and human energies, and create the right environment for our citizens, private sector and the non-profit sector to take their responsibilities and take the initiative in facing challenges and seizing opportunities.

In each theme of Vision themes, we have listed a number of commitments and targets, which is a model to work on, to achieve and reflect our ambitious numbers. Vision 2030 will be the point of reference when making decisions, to ensure harmonization of future projects with the contents of the vision themes and promote the work on its implementation.

In order to clarify the mechanisms of action and the next steps, we have listed some of the operational programs, the work on these have already begun in the Council of Economic and Development Affairs (CEDA), and other programs representing models of programs that will be launched soon in order to achieve our goals and commitments.

The sustainability of our success is not only the sustainability of the elements of this success, and this is what we hope to achieve in our vision, which stems from the elements of our strength and ultimately lead to the investment of these more sustainable ingredients, God willing.
